Nearly 73% of students in India do not make it from primary to higher secondary, according to findings cited by a parliamentary panel based on UDISE+ 2024-25 data. As enrolment falls sharply across grades, the number of schools also drops—from primary to higher secondary. The panel has called for expanding and upgrading schools to improve access to higher education. The report also highlights major gaps in accessibility infrastructure and utilisation of funds for children with special needs. So, where are India’s students disappearing—and what can be done to keep them in school? #scholldropout #education #indiaseducation Important Playlists National News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YXb9Oh62yur4MRCdRLL6gCt Business News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YVXM88oXiuA1JMLZtODGP1y World News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YW0Swy6-R3i50F5FbtDRiEe BS Decoded: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YWYuC7DEL8Lxl-rhiElowE
